RELATED IDEAS

Visual Explain Buttons for Actuals and Estimates

In ACS Visual Explain:
It would be much easier/quicker if there were buttons up in the icon bar for all the View... menu options. ( or a way to pick and choose which ones I want in the icon bar besides the zoom in, out, or fit window)
.
In my case, I need View... Arrow Label... Estimated Rows, Estimated Time, Actual Rows and SMP Degree. Others may want to choose their own that they would prefer.


Use Case:

While in ACS Visual Explain, while trying to determine the reason for a slow running query, we have to switch from viewing estimated rows and estimated time and actual rows. This is needed several times a day.

    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. We understand the value of this RFE, but higher priority items have taken precedence. We are keeping this on our list for consideration in the near future.

    Can we relook at this now please. This would be a huge productivity boost for those of us that live in this tool daily.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    Sorry, my account was somehow set to an invalid email address so I didn't get notified of the comments on this. I have updated it for going forward.

    Thanks for the additional support CAAC!!

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. This can be a big deal for improving user experience.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    For more details about CAAC's role with RFEs, see http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/May-2017/COMMON-Americas-Advisory-Council-%28CAAC%29-and-RFEs/

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.
